Marlon Mullen Art

Born in 1963, Marlon Mullen is a painter who lives and works in Contra Costa County, California, where he has maintained a studio practice at NIAD Art Center since 1993. Mullen has autism spectrum disorder, and is mostly non-verbal. Although it is unclear how much he can read, he represents his own understanding of words and uses their forms in his work. He mostly works from magazine covers and paints them abstractly on paper and canvas.

His work has been shown in galleries such as the Nevica Project (Chicago), JTT (New York), White Columns (New York), Sorry, We’re Closed (Brussels), and Adams And Ollman (Portland). He was one of the standout artists in the 2019 Whitney Biennial in New York and is included in the 2019 SFMOMA’s SECA Awards exhibition.

In Mullen's short professional career, he has already been collected by many important art patrons and included in several museum collections such as Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Berkeley Art Museum, California; Portland Art Museum, Oregon; Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami; MADMusée, Belgium.

Warm Red & Yellow Abstract Landscape Painting by Contemporary British Artist
By Angela Wakefield
Located in Preston, GB
Warm Red & Yellow Abstract Landscape Painting by Leading Contemporary British Artist, Angela Wakefield. This atmospheric impressionistic depiction of a sunset over mountainous terrain forms part of a new body of work exploring human emotions. Art measures 27.5 x 27.5 inches Frame measures 32.5 x 32.5 inches This original marks a return to Wakefield’s early work, and is a direct continuation and resumption of this intense body of gestural abstract artwork that formed the very foundations of her output as a professional artist. Art critics regard these powerful expressive works as forming the blueprint of her unique style. Angela Wakefield has twice been on the front cover of ‘Art of England’ and featured in ARTnews, attracting international attention and critical acclaim with her urban landscape paintings of New York, London & the North of England. The style of painting has been described as ‘contemporary realism’, and is often favourably compared with Edward Hopper by collectors and art critics. Angela’s work is held in private collections in Europe and the USA, including the British Royal Family. Her admirers include leading figures in international business, filmmaking and the media. PROVENANCE: Ascot Studios Collection. Initialled on the front of the canvas, signed on rear. Framed in a high quality off-white shabby chic...
